Meguirars Wheel Brightener. Do a search for wheel cleaners on here, there are a few examples with a few reviews.

Personally ditch the SwirlX and replace it with Menzerna 3.02 for the harsher marks, 85RE for refinement. Sonus pads are very hard wearing, so are good for newbies. Don't forget you need spot pads and back plates for the tighter areas, like bumpers and pillars. Ahhh, Nautical blue reps;

Work and play m'dear! Moving down with a new job!

Looks good fella, respray is the only option with lacquer peel unfortunately. Shame there are some shoddy repairers out there.

Is that your way of coming on to me old boy? Cheers Gopher! Lol, another one soon. S3 8L, so the older model fella.

That's what we're aiming for, hoping I can either get my money back or sell for more, even after a year and 10k miles.

Flame red. Followed by Monaco. If we're talking Clio colours.

Haha, they've not been on for a while!

Cheers Jimbo.

G meter. To see how quickly it's falling over.

It's not needed, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier and is more time efficient. It basically means the seats won't be as wet.

Ah Vegantune! The same company responsible for the Evante!

Glad it's being sorted, please be careful in this one!

Get those arches cleaned you cheap skate! ;) Very nice, but as said, shame about the photography skillz, it is a difficult colour to capture.

For the dash and interior plastics, I dust down with a soft brush, then a diluted APC on a MF will soon see a decent clean. Protection wise, you have a fair bit of choice. Have a look on the I4D/PB websites and choose your poison.

Starting from the beginning; Wet and dry vacs are used to extract dirty water and soap from seats and upholstery. The idea being you can "scrub" them with a cleaner and then "rinse" them, without getting the seats soaking wet. AS Biobrisk is a good start and to protect, look at i1 from...

Interesting comparisons as well.

Cheers gents. This should last Kev, I pressure wash them and agigate every wash fella, so should keep them up to scratch. They were well prepped as well, with IPA etc, so should see a good bond. Big time, they appear to be the worst possible positioning. Worst I've come across on any car/wheel...

Hi. So had a day off from work yesterday as I have a few to use up before I leave at the end of this month - whoop! So anyway, I decided almost nine years of crud, tar and salt was enough for my poor arches, so decided to give them a decent going over. Sadly, the day did not quite go to plan...

Great work as always fella, but totally disagree opinions wise on the wheels! Interesting! Ed30? Meg finally pissed you off enough?

If you look after them, wash mitts last. Hated the Yeti, hated the wookie. Too large and cumbersome. And the drain a standard sized bucket. Eurow last well and are soft enough. The Easiriders are alsoeant to be very good.

Depends on the painter. If they've used VAG paint, it'll be hard. If they used cheap paint like Renault stuff, it'll be soft. What do you mean by the last bit?

Read this on DW Russ. Cheers for sharing.

When you say it's not proper leather...? If it is leather, the Gliptone twins are fantastic.

Going at it this month, eh Neil :) Wash down, clay, wash, dry, polish, seal. So the same as paint work really. Fk1000p is great on wheels. Poorboys Wheel Sealant is also perfect.

An APC with a soft brush works well. Test an area for colourfast...ness first.

Difficult one as you've actually changed the makeup of the item by the sounds of it, Neil. What actually is it?

I've never rated it that highly.

Re: My Clio was a bargain price and now I think it hates me for making it feel cheap! What a bargain! Welcome to the club fella :)
